Ocean Kayaking Tours

Tofino has everything the ocean kayaker could need. Several local outfitters supply not only kayaks, but how-to kayaking courses and day-long and multi-day expeditions into the wilderness.

Tofino Sea Kayaking Company

The Tofino Sea Kayaking Company proffers the full portfolio. Instruction accommodates all levels of expertise with day clinics, weekend courses and wilderness trips. Beginners learn in the calm of Tofino's harbour and surrounding islands. Day tours paddle out to Meares Island, Lemmens Inlet and Vargas Island.

Family Kayaking Trips

Family kayaking trips of 2.5, 4 and 6 hours accommodate children aged 6 to 11 accompanied by adults. The emphasis is on personal attention and paddling is paced to suit the needs of kids.

Paddling in the Wild

The company's 6-day Coastal Touring in the Wild tour is an ultimate, hands-on learning adventure. It teaches kayakers the skills needed to travel independently. It instills the confidence to deal with changing weather and sea conditions.

Beaches & Island Kayak Tour

Wilderness camping tours run 4 to 6 days. The 6-day, Beaches & Islands tour is a collage of surf-swept beaches, wind-sculpted dunes, rocky pinnacles and rainforests. Paddlers skirt the swells, search out grey whales feeding in the sound, photograph sea lions and seabirds and still find time for beachcombing.
